Intro
Matthew 23:11 and Philippians 2:5 are our core Scriptures for “Servant Mind” because they teach us about being a servant and having the mind of Christ.
“But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.”
Matthew 23:11 NKJV
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,”
Philippians 2:5 NKJV
In Matthew 23:11, we see the words “greatest” and “servant.” The Greek word for greatest is “meizōn.” In this context, it means larger, which is also where we get the word “mega” from. Servant (KJV – minister), which means one who executes (carries out, performs, completes) the plans of another, giving himself up wholly to another’s will. Jesus made it clear that being the greatest is about being a servant. The world tells us the complete opposite and promotes prideful people.
In Philippians 2:5, the “mind” represents the way we think and feel; it is an attitude. The Scripture says, “this mind”. This means that it is a specific mind. The specific mind is mentioned in Philippians 2:7. This is a bondservant/servant as mentioned above. This is the mind that Jesus had. If I have a servant mind, this also means that I have a servant heart, which means my inner man is focused on fully doing the will of God for my life and not living my own will for my life. This is the life that God called me to when I submitted to Jesus Christ in 2017.
Every time I speak God’s word to student-athletes, I make sure that they understand my story and how I allowed my gifts to make me prideful. From that point, God got my attention by allowing me to experience three injuries where my athletic gifts were no longer on display, and these situations were the start of a long, humbling road for me.
All my injuries and surgeries were from 2008 to 2010. I went through a time from 2010 to 2017 doing what I deemed right, which was wrong! God gave me mercy along this journey! I went 7 years before I fully submitted.
For the past 8 years, my life has been committed to being a Holy Spirit-filled servant of Jesus Christ. He is our example of being a servant. God gets all the glory from my life, and His blessings have come and will continue to come through this.
As I strive to serve God, I use my time, gifts, and resources to serve the needs of others without any concern for accolades, titles, or my name being mentioned. I want my legacy to be known as a faithful servant of Jesus Christ.
